Becoming a mom is one of life’s most beautiful transformations. From the growing bump to those first sweet snuggles, every moment tells your story—and it’s one worth remembering.
At Jacqui May Photography, maternity and newborn sessions are more than just pretty pictures (though you’ll get those too!). They’re about celebrating this special season and preserving the love, excitement, and wonder along the way.
Whether you’re rocking your favorite maternity leggings or cuddling your brand-new babe, these sessions are filled with heart, joy, and just the right touch of magic.
Why Maternity Sessions Matter
Pregnancy isn’t just about the bump—it’s about the transformation of your heart and your home. Maternity sessions celebrate this chapter, capturing the quiet anticipation, the joy, and the connection you already feel with the little one growing inside you.
Whether you’re glowing with excitement or feeling all the real-life aches and emotions, my goal is to create a space where you feel beautiful, supported, and at ease. We’ll make magic in natural settings or at my property with seasonal styling that brings your vision to life—no awkward posing, no pressure, just love and laughter.
Welcoming Baby: Newborn Sessions with Heart
Once baby arrives, life becomes a blur of feedings, diaper changes, and (let’s be honest) a lot of staring at that perfect little face. My newborn sessions are designed to be gentle, cozy, and baby-led. We’ll go with the flow, take breaks when needed, and focus on all those delicious details—tiny toes, sleepy yawns, and the way your family looks at each other with fresh love.
The experience is just as important as the images. I know how overwhelming new motherhood can feel, so I aim to bring calm, confidence, and expert guidance into every session—because you deserve to feel amazing in front of the camera, even when you’re running on two hours of sleep.
Your Story, Told in Full
Individually, maternity and newborn sessions each hold their own magic. But when they’re part of a full journey? That’s when the real storytelling begins.
Together, they show the incredible arc of becoming a mother—from bump to baby. When you look back at these photos, you’ll remember how you felt during those first flutters, the anticipation, the wonder... and then, the moment everything changed when you finally held your baby in your arms.
It’s a visual legacy that grows with your family—and yes, I also offer milestone and family sessions to continue telling your story as the years go on.
Let’s Tell Your Story—Together
Becoming a mother is a powerful journey—and it deserves to be remembered in a way that feels joyful, meaningful, and uniquely yours.
If you’re ready to start planning your maternity or newborn session (or both!), I’d love to chat and dream something up together. Your future self—and your little one—will thank you for documenting this incredible time.
Let’s capture the wonder, one beautiful moment at a time.
